After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Qin Shuyi's face was gloomy and his fists were clenched. If Leng Yuxie hadn't blocked Liu Yunxiang's path, he would have sent his fist over.

"Zhenzhen gave me this purse!" Qin Shuyi gritted his teeth.

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "So Coach Wei's nickname is Jingyan?"

Seeing Qin Shuyi frowning, Liu Yunxiang came out from behind Leng Yuxie, took two steps closer to Qin Shuyi, and handed the purse to him, "These two words are embroidered under the purse."

Qin Shuyi looked under his purse and found these two words embroidered on it.

"A woman embroiders a purse for a man. Mr. Wei, what do you think this means?"

Qin Shuyi suddenly raised his head and glared at Liu Yunxiang, "It's just a purse..."

"I told you that I saw your sister and that man that day at Ning Yuan Temple, but you just didn't want to believe it. But your sister is dead, and died so miserably, don't you want to catch the real murderer? Revenge her?"

"Yan Mu is right. Don't try to defend him. Several people saw it with their own eyes."

"Don't you really know who they are from? You were also at the scene at the time. Did you also witness Yan Mu killing your sister? If not, don't you have any suspicion at all?"

Qin Shuyi was stunned by the repeated questions, but his sister's tragic death was already hard for him to accept, and now he had to try to believe that his sister might have had an affair with another man during her lifetime. He couldn't think calmly, let alone believe it.

"You can call Miss Qin's personal maid over to ask. Ask Miss Qin if she went to Ning Yuan Temple a few days ago. Ask Miss Qin if she goes out often and doesn't let her follow her. If she is careful, there is no way she will look strange at all. You can't notice it." Liu Yunxiang analyzed Qin Shuyi calmly.

Seeing that Qin Shuyi was still hesitant, Leng Yuxie said: "Shuyi, we can be considered friends. I know your character well, and you should also know my character. If you believe in me, then I promise you , Yan Mu is definitely not the murderer of my sister."

Qin Shuyi glanced at King Ying, then took a deep breath, turned around and walked out. When she walked into the courtyard, she called out and two maids came forward. She asked them to find Cheng Yue.

"It seems that I haven't seen Sister Chengyue since yesterday."

"Sister Chengyue said early yesterday morning that she would go out to buy needlework or something."

Qin Shuyi frowned and said, "Ask more people to look for her. If she is in the house, ask her to come over."

Liu Yunxiang followed Leng Yuxi and sat down on the stone table in the courtyard. Qin Shuyi stood there for a long time with them on his back, and then entered the room. After a while, he came out with paper, ink, pen and inkstone and placed it in front of Liu Yunxiang.

Liu Yunxiang was puzzled, "What to do?"

Leng Yuxie rolled his eyes at her, "I asked you to draw the appearance of the man you saw with Miss Qin at Ning Yuan'an that day."

"what?"

"No? Or are you talking?" Qin Shuyi narrowed his eyes.

Liu Yunxiang reluctantly took the brush, "I'm just not good at painting."

A quarter of an hour later, Leng Yuxie looked at the portrait and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Are you sure you are painting a person?"

He glanced at Qin Shuyi again. Qin Shuyi looked blank and looked away with a cold face.

At this time, a servant came to report that the whole family had searched but could not find Cheng Yue.

"Cheng Yue's home is in Xicheng. Do you want to go look for her?" the boy asked.

Qin Shuyi was silent for a moment, "I'll look for it myself."

Seeing Qin Shuyi walking out, Liu Yunxiang and Leng Yuxie hurriedly followed.

The boy led Qin Shuyi and the others to an alley in Xicheng. As soon as they walked to the door, they saw white silk hanging on the lintel. Liu Yunxiang and Leng Yuxie looked at each other and followed Qin Shuyi through the door. First they heard bursts of crying.

The boy called out, and two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, came out. When they saw them, the woman cried even harder.

"My poor daughter...why can't she think about it so much..."

"I saw something wrong with her yesterday...but I never expected..."

"She hanged herself!"

Hearing this, Qin Shuyi's face darkened, "What's going on?"

"We also want to know what's going on!" A middle-aged man came forward. He must be Cheng Yue's father. His eyes were red and swollen from crying. "Mr. Qin, my Cheng Yue went to your Xiangyang Marquis Mansion to be a maid when she was ten years old. You have always been waiting for Miss Qin. Your Qin family is good to us, Cheng Yue. Miss Qin is even more so. She often lets Cheng Yue go home to visit us and brings us many things. But this... what happened, Qin The girl passed away, Cheng Yue came back yesterday, gave us all the money she had saved for many years as a dowry, and then hanged herself that night."

At this point, the middle-aged man was crying so much that he was speechless.

"My family...Chengyue...she is only eighteen!"

Qin Shuyi went in and took a look. He didn't say anything when he came out. When he left, he gave Cheng Yue's parents two ingots of silver.

Returning to the Marquis of Xiangyang Mansion again, this time in the front yard, in Qin Zhenzhen's mourning hall.

Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and offered three sticks of incense, then turned to look at Qin Shuyi: "Master Qin, I think you should now believe that the murderer is someone else, and their methods are extremely cruel."

Qin Shuyi walked to Qin Zhenzhen's coffin, looked at her sister lying in the coffin, and reached out to touch her hair: "Zhenzhen, I will find the real murderer and avenge you!"

Liu Yunxiang was silent, "Mr. Qin, have you asked anyone to do an autopsy?"

Just as Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, Leng Yuxuan pulled her, "Shut up!"

Liu Yunxiang sighed and said: "Perhaps the autopsy can find some evidence, which will be helpful in catching the real murderer."

"He won't agree!"

"Can……"

"I agree." Qin Shuyi said in a deep voice, then raised his head, "I have handled several cases in the Yamen and learned a few tricks from the gangsters, so I will do it myself."

He didn't let Liu Yunxiang and Leng Yuxie come forward, and he didn't allow them to see his sister's death. He checked in front of the coffin.

Liu Yunxiang stood outside and saw Qin Shuyi's expression getting tighter and tighter, and his hands even started to tremble, but he still bent down and checked bit by bit. After about a stick of incense, Qin Shuyi came out and sat down on the chair.

Liu Yunxiang wanted to ask, but Leng Yuxie stopped her, "Give him some time."

Liu Yunxiang also knew how painful Qin Shuyi was at this moment, but Yan Mu was still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, perhaps being tortured, and she could not help but be anxious.

Fortunately, Qin Shuyi recovered quickly, "Zhenzhen has traces of rope binding on her hands and ankles. Judging from the scars on the rope, she was tied up for at least more than an hour. When I saw Cheng Yue at the foot of the mountain, she After waiting for a long time, I was very anxious. But I saw Yan Mu when I left, and then he went to the back mountain to fetch water. I saw him again. The interval was no more than half an hour. First of all, the time was wrong. Secondly, Zhenzhen was fatally injured. On the chest, judging from the knife edges, the assailant had no experience in killing people, one knife was not fatal, and he added two more, and the knife edges were shallow, and he was not very strong, so he probably didn't know martial arts."

Therefore, based on the above judgment, Yan Mu should not be the murderer, but more likely the scholar Liu Yunxiang mentioned.

Liu Yunxiang nodded and asked eagerly: "Now do you believe that Yan Mu is not the murderer?"

Qin Shuyi pursed his lips and then raised his head: "His suspicion is indeed much smaller, but it is not completely gone. I have to find the real murderer to eliminate the suspicion against him."

Liu Yunxiang said anxiously: "But before you find the real culprit, Yan Mu may die, and the case will be closed in a muddle."

Qin Shuyi said calmly: "So you have to work with me to find the real murderer as soon as possible."
